‘This Man Know He Fine’: Fans Go Gaga Over ‘Black Ink Crew: Chicago’ Star Ryan Henry and His Muscles

The sight of Ryan Henry apparently has women everywhere hot and bothered.

Some people may argue that the “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” star is one of the sexiest men alive and fans seem to agree. He took to Instagram on Wednesday, Sept. 23, and posted a casual photo of himself looking down at his cell phone.

Henry sported a regular tee and pair of black sweats. His shirt hugged his muscles and showed off his big guns. He rocked his signature curls in two French braids and flaunted his gold Ankh necklace and wrist chains.

The “Black Ink” star posed with a hookah in his mouth, while outdoors. “=Aight, Bet. 💨,” he captioned the snap.

Henry received more than 51,000 likes on his post and a tidal wave of compliments from his followers.

“This man know he fine😒💪🏾,” said one of the “Black Ink” star’s admirers.

“Looks like a good hug comes from those arms ☺️,” said another.

One fan wrote, “😍😍😍😍😍 God surely took his sweet time molding you I wanna say Thank you father God for sight to witness such a creation 😘.”

“Whew, chiiiiiiiile ❤️😍,” an IG user said. “Lemme rub your hair. Just don’t make no sense being this handsome 🔥🔥 Lord I’m manifesting the hell out of this man❤️🙌🏾.”

Although Henry is hit on by many fans and female prospects, it’s pretty clear he has no intentions of settling down anytime soon.

The 34-year-old reality star was in an off-and-on relationship with his ex-girlfriend and high school sweetheart Rachel Leigh for several years. Viewers thought the former couple reconciled on the latest season of “Black Ink” after they took a family vacation to Hawaii with their two sons, but it seems fans were wrong.

In a February post, Leigh confirmed to a fan that her and Henry’s relationship was over and called it “TV love, land of make believe.” Leigh also threw an insult at Henry when an IG user tried to make a pass at him. She told the person, “It’s ghetto, I don’t recommend.”

Following Lee’s diss, Henry reassured to his 1.5 million followers he was single. He wrote on his IG Story at the time, “Ryan is single.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
